Ferry Tales Return with Aplomb Alongside New EP ‘Long Time, No Sea'

Back in 2016, Mumbai pop-rock band Ferry Tales made quite the impression on the country’s independent music scene with their melodic songwriting, dynamism and good vibes. That same year the band released their three-track debut EP There She Goes as well as an early version of their single “Home” featuring vocalist Maanuni Desai, keyboardist Nirmit Shah and violinist Ajay Jayanthi. “Home” now finds itself second on the tracklist for the group’s new sixtrack sophomore EP titled Long Time, No Sea.

In between records, Ferry Tales – comprising vocalist-guitarist Akshay Dakhane, drummer Nilay Singh and guitarist Nischal Chaubey – parted ways with bassist Siddhant Vetekar and drafted in Raghukul Mathur to handle the low end while also adding keyboardist Nishant Nair to bolster their sound.
